1219799 2011-07-29 01:05:00 Son had to leave work yesterday, pains in chest and arm and faint.
Ended up in local hospital, whinging and moaning all the way.

Went in last night and his BP is higher than mine, higher than it should be for his age really.

But blood test showed nothing.

This morning he's still "imprisoned" (His term), and they have decided it's asthma which he thinks proves they haven't a clue.

Actually I think it's quite possible, he did have bad asthma when younger, and I looked it up, can cause the pains, and faint - well if he wasn't getting enough oxygen it's likely. He does work like a mad thing when at work, and it is physical.

Complaining, geez, he should be pleased it isn't his heart. They also listened to the lungs and said it sounded rubbish.

1219806 2011-07-31 01:18:00 Yes, smoking, terrible isn't it. Causes everything, wouldn't be surprised if it was responsible for global warming too.

He had asthma badly from about 18 months old. Must have been all those smokes he had as a baby. Shocking isn't it.
